Spotify sticks with Rogan, drops Neil Young

 

Neil Young issued an ultimatum to Spotify a few days ago; drop controversial talk show host Joe Rogan's podcast or remove Young's music from the service. Yesterday, Spotify, which reportedly forked over $100 million to be Rogan's exclusive podcast platform, made its decision and began dropping Young's music. SiriusXM wasted no time exploiting the opportunity to pick-up Spotify users that might defect from that streaming service in support of Young's decision. Today, the satellite radio and streaming outlet announced that Neil Young Radio would be added to the SiriusXM lineup of artist centric stations.
